Link Round-Up: November 23, 2015

For fourteen years, Snuffleupagus was the urban legend of Sesame Street
-- Big Bird's even bigger friend only ever interacted with him, and
their attempts to convince the adults of the Street always ended in
humorous failure. But then the writers realized that Snuffleupagus needed to be seen. The fear was that if we represented adults not believing what kids said,
they might not be motivated to tell the truth. That caused us to
rethink the storyline: Is something we’ve been doing for 14 years—that
seemed innocent enough—now something that’s become harmful?
